Estonian Court Sider Arrested at US Open 2017: The Inside Story


Rainer Piirimet, an Estonian tennis player, was arrested during the US Open 2017 for unauthorized entry. He was held for 10 hours and later given a summons to appear in court.

Piirimet was the second court siding to be arrested at a Grand Slam tournament. Eight court siders were removed from the courts during the first five days of the US Open 2017.

Court siding involves transmitting real-time score information to bettors. Court siders typically sit among spectators and use their phones to relay score updates. Tennis is an ideal sport for professional bettors due to its continuous data flow and lack of ties.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
